Chanuka Consumer Alert!

Please be advised that the ready-to-light gelled olive oil candles pictured here are a fire hazard. The plastic cup can catch fire and liquefy. Please do not attempt to use this product, and please notify anyone else who may have purchased it. I personally have been using this product, which were being sold to benefit my daughter's school.

I have that set. They were selling it for remarkably cheap in the fruit store; just $10. It says that it comes with 8 rubber holders for travel use, but mine didn't come with it. Anyone know anything about that?

Also, I am not afraid of the fire because it self-extinguishes after 30 minutes. The wick doesn't osmosisfy the oil well.

my daudhter came home with one of those pre-fab menorahs made of wood letters that spell chanukah in hebrew. it caught on fire the first night. attention all teaches dont send home these not so safe projects b/c its us the parents that have to deal with our children why they cant use the menorahs they made in school.morahs, a little bit of brains please.

Um, doesn't anyone realize that almost all plastic is extremely flamible and puts out toxic fumes when it burns? doesn't anyone in the frum world realize this?

The ONLY Things that it is safe to burn olive oil in is metal and glass. They produce a set of these made of glass that works beautifuly (or they did last year, and I know someone who has them this year).

This should be obvious, and I don't know why so many frum people just don't have a clue. Plastic+fire=bad.

To anyone who thinks these oil candles burn out, they don't, they just burn. A family in our community lost their pet and their house when they used these oil candles. Thank G-d that was all they lost.
